Copiapoa Tenuissima

Post by JonNo »

First flowering today. Perhaps not the prettiest of plants but in my humble opinion a very likeable flower.

Seems to have forgotten it flowered a couple of months ago... Value for money! Are they prone to this?

They flower periodically right through summer. Good value for money! They'd probably do it through winter as well with a bit more warmth and sun.

Its definitely very nice plant! Although all copiapoa intimidate me, I'm trying to save gigantea but not sure how is it going to go...


I had tenuissima burst into bouquet there about a month ago, pretty fascinating must say 😊

That is beautiful! And looks a little different to mine in both shape and spination? Lovely plant...

Hopefully that's just a check in growth, there's no sensible reason to graft Copiapoa Tenuissima.
